Chapter 245 The perfect layout

"San brother, hurry up, take out the jade pendant on your body!" Li Yan said anxiously.

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?" Li Ke was stunned after hearing this. Li Yan said that he had remembered it. Before he could figure out what Li Yan remembered, he saw him rushing over again to ask for the jade pendant.

"It was the meeting ceremony she asked you to choose when we met grandmother!" Li Yan reminded anxiously.

He and Li Ke went to pay homage to the former Queen Xiao of Sui under the leadership of Concubine Yang, but the other party was very happy and took out Yang Guang's relics and asked them to choose the gifts themselves. The Four Guard Rings in Li Yan's hand were obtained at that time. At that time, Li Ke chose a white jade pendant with a texture similar to the seal in front of him. If it was true as Wang An said, then these two jade artifacts should be perfectly arranged in Chapter 245. The perfect layout of the big jade should be carved into pieces.

When Li Ke heard this, he suddenly realized and hurriedly untied the jade pendant on his waist. This was an exquisite jade pendant carved with Feng Qiuhuang. It was not only exquisitely crafted, but also the texture was the best, so Li Ke never left him.

After Li Yan grabbed the jade pendant, the three of them crawled on the table and compared it with the seal for a long time, they immediately came to a conclusion that the two jade objects were indeed made of the same material. In addition, Li Ke also provided an important clue, that is, when he first selected the jade pendant, there was also a white jade seal in the box containing the relics, which seemed to be similar to this one.

After Li Ke mentioned this, Li Yan seemed to have a vague impression, but it had been too long since he could not remember the seal at all. Every time, Li Yan would miss the era of information development in later generations. If there was a telephone number now, he would just call Chang'an and ask Concubine Yang or Empress Xiao, wouldn't everything be solved?

However, although there was no phone call, they at least confirmed that the seal was indeed true. Looking at the dragon-shaped carved on it and the eight words below the seal, Wang An finally gave a conclusion, that is, this seal should be the personal belonging of an important figure in the former Sui royal family in Chapter 245, and the most likely one was a certain prince. However, when Yu Wenhua and the troubled times, all the princes and grandchildren following Yang Guang were slaughtered, so the original owner of this seal should have died long ago.

"Wang Fu, according to your opinion, the mysterious figure of the other party should have obtained the seal later, but what does he mean to send it now?" Li Yan disagreed with Wang An's inference, because if the other party was not the original owner of the seal, why would Yang Lie, as a Jingwei, listen to the other party's order? Unfortunately, he did not intend to tell the matter about Jingwei for the time being, after all, this fact is too sensitive.

"Liulang, could this be the other party's conspiracy? Using this seal as bait, we think that the other party is the descendant of the former Sui royal family, and lure us to go and then do something wrong again." Before Wang An could speak, Li Ke said. The reason why he made such a reason was that he did not know about Jingwei, and secondly, he also heard that Lu Qing and others were assassinated by the other party, so he was also worried about his own safety.

However, after hearing this, Wang An shook his head, and a puzzled look appeared on his face and said, "When the royal family was slaughtered by Yu Wenhua and the whole world knows that the other party would definitely not use this method to lead the two high men to come. But if not, the other party's intention to send this seal is very puzzling?"

When Wang An said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his head and said to Li Yan: "Your Highness, did General Lu catch three assassins? Let's go and interrogate, maybe we can ask some things!"

"No need, I've already asked, and I decided to leave tomorrow to the other party!" Li Yan said suddenly with a calm expression. Although Wang An's analysis just now made sense, Li Yan knew that Wang An's analysis was wrong, because he didn't know the matter of Jingwei at all. He lacked this key link. No matter how wise he was, it was difficult to draw a correct conclusion.

"Your Highness, the other party's origin is unknown, so you must not take any risk!" Wang An was naturally shocked and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Liulang, Wang Fu is right. You must not act irritated. You should first figure out where the other party is coming!" Li Ke also advised, and at the same time he was a little confused. After halfway through the analysis, why did Li Yan suddenly say that he would go to see the unknown person in person?

"Third brother, Wang Fu, although I don't know the exact identity of the other party, I have guessed something, and I am sure that the other party has no malice, so I think it is necessary to go there once. Besides, I will bring enough guards at that time, and I will only go to the junction of the two forces and will not go deep into the other party's territory, so safety is still guaranteed!" Li Yan said with a smile, with the same confidence on his face.

In fact, although Wang An’s analysis just now was wrong, it gave Li Yan some inspiration. It was this inspiration, combined with Yang Lie’s various reactions, which made Li Yan finally have some positive guesses about the identity of the mysterious man. If this is true, then he really needs to go there once. As long as the other party is not a lunatic, he will not do anything to him.

"Your Highness, you..."

When Wang An heard Li Yan insisting on going, he was about to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by Li Ke next to him and said, "Liulang, if you insist on going, then I'll accompany you too. Anyway, the other party also called me to go!"

When Li Yan saw the third brother talking, he couldn't help laughing loudly and said, "Third brother, don't be nervous. I'm sure that our trip to Tainan will definitely have unexpected gains!"

Wang An and Li Ke looked at each other and felt a little confused about Li Yan's confidence, so they didn't know where Li Yan got such a judgment?

But at this moment, Li Yan's laughter came to an abrupt end, and his face showed a deep thought. After a while, he suddenly sighed: "What a scheming, I really went to see that person as Yang Lie said, willingly!"

Two days later, thirty warships prepared for sailing from Keelung Port, and along the Taiwan Strait, began to sail towards Tainan. This time, except for Li Yan and Li Ke, there were only two thousand personal guards of the royal palace, and three thousand naval troops from the Lu Qing Sect. Although there seemed to be a small number of 5,000 people, the sparsely populated overseas land was already enough to sweep the entire island.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Li Yan, Cui Yu and others waved goodbye, until they couldn't see the figure clearly, Li Yan slowly walked to the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As the saying goes, there are people outside of others, and there is heaven outside of them. This time he was completely plotted by the other party behind the scenes, but he was not angry at all, because he really didn't expect that the other party had been planning this matter since last year, even though he knew he was plotting, he was willing to meet the other party.

Li Yan was already sure that in Liu Qiu's incident, whether it was Lu Qing, Yang Lie or himself, they were all chess pieces in the other party's hand, especially Yang Lie, the key piece, which played a crucial role.

When Lu Qing started to have a conflict with the other party, the other party first used assassination to intimidate Lu Qing, then made a request to see him, and then deliberately let Yang Lie be captured. He met Yang Lie again yesterday and received an affirmative reply from the other party.

Even Yang Lie himself couldn't explain why Yang Lie was captured. He only knew that the master had told him that as long as he saw Li Yan, he would ask Li Yan to go to Tainan to meet him in person, and there was no need to say anything else.

However, although Yang Lie was not sure about the reason, Li Yan guessed it, because he was sure that the other party should know that he was holding the Four Guards Rings and then arranged for Yang Lie to be captured. When Yang Lie saw the Four Guards Rings in his hand, he would naturally reveal his identity as a Jingwei. The reason for doing this was to tell Li Yan that his identity was enough to drive the Jingwei.

Next, when the white jade seal was delivered, as long as Li Yan boldly guessed, he could know the other party's approximate identity. When Li Yan knew his identity, there was no reason to refuse his request.

The other party's layout was almost tied up one by one. Since the conflict with Lu Qing started, Li Yan had made a step-by-step plan. If there was a problem with one link, the entire plan would fail. But it was also amazing. Such a huge layout took nearly a year, but it still achieved its original goal perfectly, which made people sigh at the other party's far-reaching wisdom.

However, although Li Yan understood the other party's layout, he couldn't figure out a problem. With the other party's identity he guessed, if he really wanted to see him, why didn't he tell himself directly about his identity and insist on doing so many things? If he was a little stupid, he probably wouldn't understand the other party's intentions at all.

Could it be that he was testing himself? Li Yan suddenly thought of a possibility, but what is the purpose of the other party doing this? What are the benefits of passing the test? Even if he fails to understand the other party’s intentions, he may well bring the army to destroy the other party. Wouldn’t it be a huge tragedy by then?

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little headache again. It seems that the other party is indeed not an ordinary person, and the problem he is thinking about is not something that his little head can understand. It's better to ask the other party personally after seeing the other party. But I hope that the person is a good guy to get along with, otherwise he and his third brother Li Ke might be a little wronged.

Just as Li Yan stood at the bow of the boat thinking about the man in Tainan, on a somewhat desolate beach in Tainan, a middle-aged man in a blue cloth robe looked into the sea. Although he was only separated by a not-too-wide strait, he could not see the continent to the west at all.
